Today's Boulder Farmers Market Report

It's a beautiful early fall afternoon at today's Boulder Farmers Market. So much summer produce still to choose from, plus the fall veggies starting to take over. There were some unusual offerings, too, like the red mustard at Cure Organic Farm (it's a leafy mustard green, with an interesting reddish tinge to the leaves) and the gigantic watermelon radishes at Red Wagon Organic Farm (big globes maybe three inches in diameter, yellow on the outside and red within). Full Circle Organic Farm was there with their chile roaster, and you can buy their wonderful certified organic roasted chiles by the one pound bag, by the half bushel, or even by the full bushel. As we head into fall, the crowds were a little thinner (yeay!), but there seemed to be a few less vendors already, too. Notably missing was the stand for Munson Farm. This does not bode at all well for getting any more fresh corn from them for the season. Oh well, such is the cycle of things, and soon I'll start getting enthused about winter squash. Or at least I'll try.
